3. InverterThe inverter panel does three things: it charges the batteries, gives you thevolt levels of the battery banks and it can be used to provide 110v powerwithout the need to connect to shore power or run the generator.To charge the batteries:When plugged into shore–power, the “charge” button needs to be switchedon; the green light will be illuminated. The “AC in” and one of the threeinverter status lights should be illuminated in the status bar. If these are notilluminated check your shore power connection.Before un-plugging from the dock power, press the charge button on thepanel and switch off all the breakers on the 110V panel, (see previouspages), as well as the breaker on the dock power outlet. Do this process inreverse when plugging into dock power.To use the inverter:1. Start the engines; bring the rpm up to 1400.2. Press the “invert” button under the control section of the panel. The greenlight on the switch will then illuminate.3. All of the 110V outlets are now live.4. Reverse steps 1, 2 & 3 to switch off the inverter, but run the engines forten minutes before switching it off.Always ensure that you have switched the inverter off by checking that theswitch on the panel is no longer illuminated. Leaving the inverter on willcause your batteries to rapidly lose their charge.NB: The inverter panel will not operate the air conditioning unit; this is onlyavailable under generator power or shore power.InvertbuttonChargerbutton(leave on atall times)Status barBattery 1:enginebatteriesBattery 2:domesticbatteries
